Plans to improve the Hammond Drive Corridor between Boylston Road and Glenridge Road continue to evolve. Sandy Springs contracted with Gresham Smith in 2018 for $237,985 to begin planning to improve traffic flow and safety along the corridor. Along with a first amendment to the contract totaling $12,000, Gresham Smith provided traffic studies, conceptual design, and public involvement for the project.
In February 2019, a second amendment to the contract costing $47,500 provided for additional services to develop a flyover video for the project corridor to aid in communicating the proposed design concept to the public and a public information open house meeting.
The City Council has now approved a third amendment to the contract for an additional $218,067 to provide initial topographic survey and subsurface utility engineering and to perform initial preliminary design and bridge selection investigation.
The city has adequate funding in the TSPLOST TS-193 Project Budget to fund the additional contract changes.
